Being pissed with all of the blaspheming going on, in Gen 6:3 he limits man's lifespan to 120 years, right before the "flood". You'd think a good manager would implement this revolutionary practice immediately.
But no. He lets Noah (who was 600 at the time) go on his SS Minnow voyage to save the animals. Then, after watching Noah get all liquored up and cursing his son's son Canaan, he then lets Noah live another 350 years instead of setting a good example in telling him to get his drunk carcass into a the ground pronto.
Not only that, continuing generations for hundreds, if not thousands, of years live well beyond the god mandated 120 years,. Shem, then Arphaxed, then Salah, Eber, Peleg: hundreds of years a piece. The list goes ever on. Abraham lives 175, well into Gen 25.
Any middle manager being unable to implement his own policy would have been canned long before the problem ran on.
And presidents or CEOs being this ineffective? Companies would collapse.
Dopey, eh?

heh heh heh, nope he wouldnt good thing for him he's at the top.
going on my own tangent now... do you realize that by biblical accounts how many generations would have lived at the same time according to the lifespans given in the bible. I charted it once,
hmmm looking on line. Nope, no chart like mine but look at this one and think about it.

People take photo's with 4 or 5 generations and think they are special, In early biblical times family pictures weren’t special unless they had 12 generations
The whole lifespan of 900 years,*rolls eyes* not having kids till 100 - bah! they didn't have birth control, so I'm thinking "100 years" was not too far beyond puberty.

Unfortunately, the Board of Directors for the universe is made up of The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost. They won't fire God because they're all nepotists.
Edit: Thanks B. Hound.
